Safari and CFLOCATION
I have a typical coldfusion app with a bunch of CFCASE statement which I use to render different iterations of the page, execute specific functions etc..etc.. It works fine in IE and firefox. But for some reason safari is rendering the following error message:
"Too many redirects occurred trying to open page. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page."
For some reason it has a problem with my CFLOCATIONs. Anybody knows what the deal might be with this piece of garbage browser?

almost always a code problem related to endless loop redirect (as the message says)
I test with Safari and have not seen this as an -issue- ...except when it's -my- error
probably due to some variable not being set which controls your cflocation and not cflocation/safari itself.

Interesting Sid... but Xamian said it works fine in IE and FF ?
But... how many cflocations are we talkin about? Is there a more efficient way to handle what you are doing?

could -be- an issue with safari (setting variables, cookies etc)...just doubt it's cflocation as I use it all the time with no issue
do you cfflush somewhere

Maybe 20 cflocations, you know the typical stuff
if blah cflocation back to form with a few extra url variables kinda like this
<cflocation url="?Trg=3&submission_id=
It's only safari that has this problem.

<cflocation url="?Trg=3&submission_id=
that's not your actual url call is it??
needs to be at least
<cflocation url="somepage.cfm?Trg=3&su
if not
<cflocation url="http://www.site.com/somepage.cfm?Trg=3&submission_id=#

Yea I usually leave out the page name. Is that a problem?

Sid's right. This happened to me before I remember now. Safari is very unforgiving about URLs in CFLOCATION. At the very least you need a file name, but probably should enter a full url. Once I put the full url Safari stopped whining about too many redirects.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.
just to confirm.. you are saying addToken="no" on your cflocation tags right?
